How are you? I hope you\u2019re having a wonderful day so far! Thank you so much for your excitement about Vitality! I can\u2019t wait to get started together on the 28th. <a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/introducing-vitality\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" rel=\"follow noopener noreferrer\">Check out the details here!\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For today\u2019s post, I wanted to share some recent Amazon finds. Amazon has been crushing the game lately, and they have so many cute things for the transition from summer to fall. I\u2019ve also found some new back-to-school essentials that we\u2019ve been loving lately, and also some fails in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the things I\u2019m loving right now:<\/p>\n<h2>Amazon Faves August 2023<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+auKeP2uTXsehar3x1k0ivw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This set<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162530\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162530 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162530\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/amazon-set.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+auKeP2uTXsehar3x1k0ivw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">this set<\/a> is a little on the summery side, I can get away with tying a sweater around my shoulders for the next couple of months here in Tucson. They also have it in black, which is super cute with a high bun and some low-top sneakers.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+W4E3v8FZaZQYy3xqUDoewg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This necklace<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162531\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162531 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162531\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/tennis-necklace.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve been wanting a tennis necklace for a while, but didn\u2019t want to spend the money on a real one. I wanted something I could wear every day without worrying about it getting lost or breaking. <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+W4E3v8FZaZQYy3xqUDoewg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This one was highly recommended<\/a> in a Facebook group that I\u2019m in, so I decided to go for it since it was only $35. I LOVE it. It\u2019s sparkly and decent quality, plus I can wear it every day.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+iy9l1KcS_pXkA8bP-ngxxg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This two-piece sweater set!!<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/friday-faves-7-14\/amazon-set-5\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162172 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162172\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/amazon-set-5-scaled.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So many of you guys have bought <a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+iy9l1KcS_pXkA8bP-ngxxg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">this<\/a> already, but it was worth another shout out because I love it so much!! It\u2019s a Free People dupe and the quality is excellent. They have lots of color combos, too &#8211; I also have it in black.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+s_NF4JBuGH-Dry7Jf3C15Q\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This tiered fit and flare dress<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162532\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162532 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162532\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/fit-and-flare-dress.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I wanted a black dress that I could dress up or down and have been wearing this one constantly when I don\u2019t want to get dressed but still want to look put-together.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+pIYJzIrYs6lg0yAtjwYXDw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This tennis dress<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162536\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162536 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162536\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/amazon-tennis-dress-scaled.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+pIYJzIrYs6lg0yAtjwYXDw\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">I have two and Liv has two<\/a> &#8211; we love these dresses! They have built-in shorts if you want to actually be active in them, but for me, they\u2019re perfect for errands and life. I also love wearing it with a Vuori sweatshirt on top.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+QQXzy-ATvqzPgNPvtYVRMQ\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">I also ordered this shirtdress and am waiting for it to arrive.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>New lunch boxes for the crew!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162533\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162533 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-162533\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/p-lunch-box.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YI4sXa\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">I loved this one for P,<\/a> especially since it includes a stainless steel thermos to keep food warm. A friend recommend it and it&#8217;s perfect; even better than her original Bentgo.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162534\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162534 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-162534\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/liv-lunch-box.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Liv was ready for the updated version of the Bentgo, and I was so excited to see that <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3qHfwav\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">they make this one.<\/a> It\u2019s perfect! A little more grown-up style and holds a bit more food.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3P2qPDA\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">A new heating eye mask.<\/a> The things we get excited about these days. This one is MAGICAL. If you do eye compresses for any dry eye-related issues, I definitely recommend this one. It\u2019s perfectly warm and stays that way.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162535\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162535 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162535\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/eye-mask.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>While everything can\u2019t be a home run, there were a couple of misses in the mix recently.<\/p>\n<p>Here they are:<\/p>\n<h3>Fails:<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+FN7KpLrxn5LqiVtt89ti9w\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This button-down top<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I thought\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+FN7KpLrxn5LqiVtt89ti9w\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">this top<\/a>\u00a0would be cute with wide-leg jeans but could also be dressed up with a pencil skirt and heels for work. Like many of the items above, it\u2019s available in a bunch of colors. \u00a0In reality, the fabric is thin and it feels like it would fall apart after washing it once. Sent it back!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162537\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162537 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162537\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/amazon-fail-shirt-scaled.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+AeT2rw6avpcGgmpUJm_pPg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">This tiered maxi dress<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/?attachment_id=162538\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-162538 follow noopener noreferrer\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-162538\" src=\"http:\/\/bestratefinders.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/amazon-fail-dress-1-scaled.jpg\" data-fslightbox=\"gallery1\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I loved the red color in\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rstyle.me\/+AeT2rw6avpcGgmpUJm_pPg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">this dress<\/a>, and thought it would be flowy, flattering, and comfortable. The red color is much brighter in real life and almost feels costume-y to me. The fabric isn\u2019t good quality and I just felt blah about it.<\/p>\n<p>So, tell me, friends: have you ordered anything from Amazon recently that you love?? Please share the goods in the comments section below!<\/p>\n<p>Also, where are you buying your clothes these days? It\u2019s hard to find cute things that are in that in-between land, where you don\u2019t want to look too young or frumpy. I\u2019m STILL bummed that Trunk Club disappeared, because it was my go-to!<\/p>\n<p>xo<\/p>\n<p>Gina<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\/amazon-hits-and-misses-august-2023\/\">Amazon Hits and Misses August 2023<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/fitnessista.com\">The Fitnessista<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sharing a roundup of some of my favorite Amazon finds (and some of the fails!) from recently.
